I’m starting to think JoeWaters lives in my brain (or vice versa?). This week began with his post on the End of Corporate Philanthropy as I was posting Is Your Brand a Philanthropist or a Cause Crusader? He also prompted Ed Nicholson from Tyson Foods to write this fantastic post, Should a Company Expect to Get Back When it Gives?
So, I’m hoping to get the chance to meet Joe at the Cause Marketing Forum conference in Chicago and am super excited to attend…will you be there? Let’s connect!

Cone has come out with another new study, this time on consumer expectations, the “Shared Responsibility” concept, and consumer perceptions of how companies are doing in this realm (hint..it’s not good). A must-read.

Panera’s Non-Profit Cafe. Where to start with this one? This is one of those great posts where some of the best stuff is happening in the comments section. Will be interesting to watch.

Great post by Taylor Davidson, Doing Good is Good Business. Taylor says this post has been in his head for a while now. Can’t wait to read more!

Cause Capitalism saint Olivia Khalili did a great interview with an attorney on L3C’s and all the legal craziness that’s confusing most of us, entitled Confused About L3C’s and the Rest? Me Too!

Attractive Women Make Men Impatient. I’ve stumbled across Roger Dooley‘s stuff several times now. Though I personally would’ve titled this article something different (Roger is more diplomatic than I am), I like the neuroscience perspective Roger offers. Adding him to my short list.

Project Access NOW’s Relational Infrastructure by Peter Korchnak – One of my favorite Portland organizations doing amazing things. I also did a post on a favorite client of mine, The Hello Foundation and how and why they do The Art of Philanthropy.

Also very excited to come across The Galloway Group with a blog chock full of interesting, cause-related information.

Thanks for the link love. Looks like we read a lot of the same stuff…
Thanks for the mention! We look forward to sharing our information and following all of these other great folks you mentioned!
Megan, some great pieces in this list! I just hoped over to the article on Panera bread to leave a comment. We are certainly in the same circles as I’ve read Joe’s, Taylor’s, Peter’s and Cone’s pieces from your list!
Thank you. And I’ve got more, still in my head
